Meet Patricia
- Comfortable with pets
Hi there! My name is Patricia, and I'm a responsible and experienced babysitter who loves spending time with children. I have 5+years of babysitting experience and have cared for children of all ages, from two weeks old babies to teenagers. I understand parents want a babysitter they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am patient, kind, and attentive, and I enjoy playing games, reading books, and doing crafts with children. I'm also happy to help with homework or other tasks, such as meal preparation. I'm comfortable with pets and am happy to care for them. I'm available for occasional babysitting and regular schedules, and I'm flexible with my availability. I have excellent references that I would be happy to provide upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

We’re so lucky we found Patricia. Our toddler is typically shy and weary of strangers but she warmed up to Patricia quickly! Patricia was great about sticking to our kid’s schedule and prepared her meals for her + cleaned up. She always showed up early, and was super attentive to our kid, as well as super sweet to our dog. My toddler definitely loved spending the time with her and grew attached, which was reassuring. Can’t recommend her enough. She will definitely be the first person we call when we need backup/intermittent childcare.

Patricia is exactly what you hope for with a babysitter! She was comforting to work with as a parent and instantly connected with our kids. We were visiting from out of town for a family wedding that our 2 and 4 year old were attending but not until the end. I brought the kids back, over tired from a wedding, expecting some tears at a new babysitter - she jumped right in, connecting and helping with getting ready for bed (younger one straight to bed). I then left my 4 year old awake with her - he’s usually not good when I leave - and he barely looked up, already comfortable with Patricia. Patricia was prompt with initial messages, interviewing, and references (which I’m happy to do!). I only wish we lived locally and could use Patricia again!

Patricia was on time, professional, and had no trouble spending time with a 2 year old. Thanks, Patricia!

We were staying in a hotel as we were from out of town. Patricia was amazing and very kind. She was basically there as my son slept but she was a real lifesaver pulling a late night for us.

Patricia is a caring and very flexible sitter. She is prompt, professional and proficient. She has provided care for my 2 year old son and was great! My son loves to be active and explore outdoor. She provided ample time for him to play, while remaining patient. I would highly recommend!!!
